What extends are there as for with the free of charge musically enthusiasts hack

CLEVELAND, Ohio aIf which you have kids on mid university or college, chances are you understand in and around musical. Ly, any of the video ethnic marketing, and its brand-new spinoff, live. Ly. But then are currently that these apps defend in order for kids?

Here’s any of the rundown. What is musical. Ly?

Musical. Ly, any of the Shanghai-based social-media marketing, is generally incredibly…

And then there were none…

   Last night I had the craziest dream. I’m 100% sure that this dream was brought on by the fact that tomorrow would have been The OCs 47th birthday. Either way, the dream was vivid and felt so real that when I woke up I almost had to convince myself it wasn’t. 

People come into your life for a reason. Each one fills a void or plays a part in the story of your life. Some go. Some stay. Some go…

Finding peace and presence in the holidays.

I won’t go into a long tirade and apologize for my absence because I always seem to do that and end up saying the same thing. There’s really not much more to say except I’ve been busy with my new job and I’m traveling quite a bit for it being a non-travelling job.  I should be home and settle by mid-January when I can hopefully work out a more structured schedule, but until then it’s balls to the…

I’M BACK!

Look who is back!

(It’s me, in case you were wondering…)

I took a month off to sort through some contractual obligations for this blog and then that parlayed into a much longer hiatus than I expected.

But I am back, fully loaded (and funded) and ready to write on previously approved posts and some never to mention subjects. One of those subjects being my new place of employment. That’s right! If…

America for the win!

The #SCOTUS finally determined that same sex marriage is legal across our entire great nation.

As it should be.

Or should I say, as it should have been all along.

At then end of the day, we, as Americans, have bigger issues to focus on than arguing against love. Let’s talk about poverty, homelessness, mental health, sex trafficking and our educational deficiencies. Those…

Ashes to ashes…

I’ve been thinking abut mortality lately. Mostly mine, but other peoples too. When I was in the hospital I had two moments where I “went there” in my head. Those thoughts, on any given day, can be a road that leads to isolation and fear, but when you are in the hospital , well, they are even more pronounced. I think because my parents died earlier than most and I have been faced with death I am…

In memory of Catherine.

Internet friend.

I really hate that term. I don’t go through life labeling my other friends, I don’t see why I need to label the ones I meet on-line. A friend is a friend no matter how you meet or how you carry on your relationship. Anyone who says you can’t build relationships through this vast world of web connection is a liar. I’ve met some of my best people here.

  **I totally needed to set…

He better drive a lot slower than 55…!

Yesterday my youngest son earned his driver’s license.

This makes me very happy, horribly nervous and proud.

But mostly nervous.

My son is wonderful. He really is! He is smart. He is polite. He is a tremendous athlete. And he is also a moronic 16 year old boy.

It’s the last part that scares the beejesus out of me.

The thought of him driving the streets while he can’t seem to remember to pick up…

A really long rant about the Duggar molestation accusations.

I’m often asked to write about all things LGBTQ on this blog. It’s why I have this blog, “to be an integral voice of todays culture.” Which I really suck at because I often pass because the subject is too political, there is no win/win or it’s too judgmental. Really. I am often asked to write these eye for an eye posts where I am  supposed to point out the other sides personal attacks on me by…

Apparently you are never too old to throw a tantrum.

Today I had a tantrum in the doctors office (okay, it was a full blown melt down…) I went in to get my glucose test results for diabetes. The “food” they fed me at the hospital is pure sugar, and since it goes straight into your blood stream and bypasses all forms of digestion that normally break down sugar, it makes you hella diabetic when you are on it. Once they wean you off of the crap there…

Happy Mother’s Day!

 And then these little turdlettes showed up at my front door and suddenly I was a mom and we were a family.

And we all lived happily ever after.

The End.

Happy Bowel Obstruction Anniversary!

Today I celebrate (I don’t think celebrate is the right word…maybe acknowledge?) my one month post operative bowel obstruction surgery anniversary.

Like the ugly step child, I forgot my hysterectomy monthiversary (it was May 2nd if you want to jot it down in your calendar) which is funny that my hysterectomy is not even on my radar since that was the catalyst for everything else. But honestly, I…

My Sister’s Addiction – Part III

I love the Real Housewives. I watch all of them except New York which I lost interest in Season 1. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is one of my favorites, but like them all, the overly dramatic screaming and diva fighting is getting old. Most of it is contrived, and in my opinion, one step away from being scripted. But there is one story line that isn’t scripted and is very much reality.

I don’t have to like yours and you don’t have to like mine.

A couple days ago I called out from a Facebook friend for not ‘liking’ their posts often enough. Apparently I used to ‘like’ their stuff a lot more than I do now and the lack of my ‘liking’ has caused a bit of (one sided) contention between us.

First, I have to say, I don’t think Facebook has a ‘liking’ policy so I feel pissy that I am being held accountable to one. Second, this friend never…

Part II – The Recovery

So far my recovery is progressing as it should, and in my opinion, faster than the doctors anticipated. While I was in the hospital I was 2-3 days behind schedule, now I’ve jumped ahead and I’m super excited about that.

The biggest struggle was getting my strength back and regaining some of the stamina I had lost. Lying in a bed with no food for two weeks will take a toll on your muscles and over…

So what the hell happened to me?

The official name is post operative scar tissue blockage in the small intestine.

It’s actual quite common after abdominal surgery. It’s one of those pesky “complication” they talk about during your pre-op appointments that you consciously don’t pay attention too because you never think it’ll happen to you.

But it did happen to me.

More than likely my blockage was caused by my last surgery to…

Enter MENOPAUSE Stage Right!

So a couple weeks ago I went to the hospital for a pretty basic medical procedure. The doctor was going to shove a camera (Go Pro?) up my who-ha, clean out my uterus, laser some stuff and take a couple of samples. It was pretty straightforward and I expected to be home within a few hours. They wheeled me into the operating room, knocked me out and I woke up in the recovery room without having the…
